Well I guess I will letter the gun at some point.

As for the stocks, I put them on they were cheap via internet auction years ago. My dad being shall I say frugal, had the original magnas from his M 28 on it...

I put them back on the 28 and scrounged the ones that are on it. I guess frugality is a family tradition

Also, it would seem my dad bought this gun used. I think the SN is from around 1961 or so and he bought in in 1968 as best I can tell. This is the only gun he bought that I dont have the receipt for. He lived in NY at that time and the SN is on his permit.

Also, I cant ask dad about the gun (passed on) the store where he bought all the other guns closed up around 1980. The only chance for any history is the factory.

Was there a time in the 1960s that M-18s were hard to find, or M-17s hard to sell?
